"As a woman who also works in healthcare, it’s important to me to make the Breast Cancer Awareness Health Fair a tradition in Arlington. I want every woman to have the resources that they need to stay healthy," said City Council District 3 Representative Nikkie Hunter. “This year I added in Prostate exams because it’s so important that these screenings are done as well. As a community, together we can make a difference and get the word out that screenings save lives.”
